Hi All
My name is Mick House and I was on the Breakdown Gang at Brighton Lovers Walk Depot.
I started with British Rail in 1988 as a Blocker working my way up to Examiner and then cat3 Fitter.
I put my letter in to join the breakdown gang as soon as I could and got in. As I was already a driver I was trained up on the Bruff road/rail lorry quite quickly and later on the Crane.
The first Diesel crane at Brighton was ADRC 96716. After we lost this one (it went to Ashford, photo 1)
